This programme, which falls under the services category, will see its contract running from 2nd July 2021 to 31st March 2022. The tender period for submission is open until 2nd June 2021, and the total value of the contract is £120,000. The procurement will focus on three activity strands, including programme management, facilitation delivery, and one-on-one support for business leaders within the peer networks. This tender presents a significant opportunity for SMEs, particularly those involved in business consultancy, coaching, and facilitation services, to engage directly with the local enterprise network. Companies with expertise in leadership development and operational improvements would be particularly well-suited to participate. By offering tailored support to business owners, successful bidders can not only contribute to local economic enhancements but also expand their own client base and enhance their service offerings through direct involvement in the Peer Networks programme. ## Notice Peer Networks is a national initiative that will be delivered locally in England through the Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP) network and their respective Growth Hubs. The programme's longer-term aims are focused on reducing the UK productivity gap by helping business leaders find practical solutions to strategic and operational challenges. The programme will see the creation of a series of Peer Networks (cohorts) through the Growth Hub network, with each group consisting of 11 owners or managers from the SME business community participating in each network. Led by an experienced facilitator, these Peer Networks will typically meet fortnightly as part of delivering 18 hours of action learning through 2-3-hour sessions. Individual one-to-one support (coaching, mentoring, or advice) will also be provided to help to implement and manage change. Active involvement in the Peer Network will enhance the leadership capabilities, knowledge and confidence of business owners and entrepreneurs within a local region and it will help build local connectivity and strength within the SME business community. The Authority is seeking delivery of the 3 strands of activity within the Peer Networks programme for 8 individual cohorts. Tenderers may submit bids for delivery of the following for between 1 and 8 cohorts: Programme Direction / Programme Management.
